Suarez's treble helped Liverpool on the way to a 6-3 victory in south Wales.

It was their sixth league win on the bounce and keeps them four points behind leaders Chelsea with a game in hand.

"His determination, his desire, his will is at such a big level. He is a world-class player who is enjoying his football, and long may it continue."

Martin Skrtel, meanwhile, helped himself to a double and the outstanding Daniel Sturridge also scored, but it needed a second-half masterclass from Liverpool after they twice found themselves behind and were being held 2-2 midway through a pulsating encounter.

“We were probably a little bit too deep in the first-half and gave too much space to their players who were a threat”

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers

"We were probably a little bit too deep in the first-half and gave too much space to their players who were a threat," Rodgers added.

"We probably lost the ball one or two times too cheaply, but we were still an offensive threat.

"I thought the quality of our goals was very good, we showed our composure and our focus, especially when we went behind

"We went behind twice in the game and we didn't panic, and in the second half we showed great composure on the ball to create chances.

"We scored six goals again and we showed that offensive power in our attacking game."
